Discussion question
Choose at least 3 quotes from the readings – Ortner’s 1. “Is Woman to Male as Nature is to Culture” and reflect on Kincaid’s 2. “Girl” in conjunction. Post to the discussion section about your observations and reactions. What did the readings reveal about your assumptions and perceptions of gender, self, and “other“? Use key concepts in these readings to draw relationships and insights. Considering the time when these were both written, what is it like today “to learn” gender? Put another way, how do these writings illuminate our thinking and observations about gender today?
